I recently came across The Chinese Pear Stories, a set of audio taped stories that are the first set of scientifically matched natural conversation samples for all seven main Chinese dialects (Mandarin 北, Cantonese 粵, Hakka 客, Wu 吳, Min 閩, Xiang 湘 and Gan 贛).
Background, transcripts, dozens of short recordings in each dialect and more under http://www.pearstories.org/, quite worth checking, useful to develop oral understanding.
